Writing Assignment 3- Draft 2.

Pirates of Somalia
Adonai, God, and Allah
Oil rivers flow through Afghan veins,
Yet the globe’s indifferent as problems remain.

Janjaweed in West Sudan
America unite, “Yes we can”
Tibetan dreams on far away seas,
We care for Tech, but not refugees?

Serbian nights- spent cold and quivering,
Peace bracelets on wrists, yet the activism withering.
Bosnian nightmares played by the news,
But we stay quiet. As if we have something to lose?

Rape screams silent in the Congo
A whole world aware, that pretends to not know
Children mourn to diamonds of Sierra-Leone,
Yet the world refuses to face what can’t be dealt with at home.

Writing Assignment 3 Draft 1 - POEM.

Pirates of Somalia
Adonai, God, and Allah
Oil rivers flow through Afghan veins,
I pray that we come together.

Janjaweed in North Sudan
America unite, “Yes we can”
Tibetan dreams on far away seas,
I beg us to come together.

Rape screams silent in the Congo
A whole world aware, that pretends to not know
Children mourn to diamonds of Sierra-Leone,
We have no choice but to come together.
